Connecting clients

Log in with the full user ID and the homeserver address http://localhost:8008. In Element, edit the homeserver on the sign-in page. In the Uniform Chat terminal client, give the address with --Matrix:Homeserver:

./Uniform.Chat --Matrix:UserId=@alice:localhost --Matrix:Homeserver=http://localhost:8008

Without an address, clients find the server from the user ID: they look for https://<server name>/.well-known/matrix/client. That needs a real server name, HTTPS and Server:PublicBaseUrl.
